High-Efficiency Window Replacement and Improvement
While your current windows appear adequate, energy‑efficient replacements can cut heat loss, decrease utility bills, and boost comfort without compromising safety. You'll achieve measurable performance by combining Low‑E upgrades with gas fills and warm‑edge spacers to lower U‑factor and solar heat gain without sacrificing visible light. We assess orientation, local climate, and code requirements to specify glazing that fulfills ENERGY STAR targets for Burien.
The framing around your windows is just as critical as the glass itself. We suggest insulated fiberglass, vinyl, or thermally broken aluminum frames, sealed with backer rod and low‑expansion foam to prevent air leakage and condensation. Proper anchoring, shims, and flashing integrate units with your weather barrier, safeguarding both structure and occupants. You'll get clear performance data, precise installation timelines, and warranties aligned with manufacturer specifications.
Bespoke Shower Enclosures and Glass Elements
While upgrading your home's glass, custom shower enclosures deliver precise fit, clean lines, and safe performance designed for your space. We website field-measure openings, confirm wall plumb, and specify tempered or laminated safety glass to satisfy building codes and minimize flex. You select frameless enclosures for less hardware and easy maintenance, or semi-frameless systems for defined edges and budget control.
We engineer door swing clearances, hinge loading, and anchor points to fit tile, stone, or acrylic surrounds. Low-iron glass enhances visual clarity; protective coatings limit water spots. For aesthetics and privacy, we include patterned interlayers and decorative etching with slip-resistant textures on thresholds. We seal with mold-inhibiting silicone, create even reveals, and calibrate sweep compression to avoid water leakage. Your enclosure fits, functions, and lasts.
Rapid Repair Services, Critical Board‑Ups, and Safety Standards
When glass is broken, you require a fast, safe solution that stabilizes the gap and protects individuals and property. We come prepared with cut‑resistant gloves, eye protection, shatter‑collection tools, and custom-sized panels to protect the location. After securing the zone, we clear loose pieces, assess conditions, and install sturdy board-ups or interim glazing to restore weather protection, security, and climate control.
You get clear timelines: triage within hours, followed by precise measurements for replacement. For storm damage, we assess frame plumb, seal integrity, and hardware alignment, then recommend laminated, tempered, or insulated glass matched to performance specs. We anchor boards to structural members only, protect drainage paths, and label hazards. Our technicians verify safe egress, pet/child zones, and alarm sensors. You leave with a stabilized opening and a confirmed follow‑up plan.
Dealing with Building Permits, Codes, and HOA Rules
Because code compliance safeguards safety and resale value, we initiate your project by determining the exact approvals your address needs: city permits, energy codes (WA State Energy Code), safety glazing requirements (tempered/laminated near doors, wet areas, and low sills), egress dimensions, and wind/seismic requirements. We validate scope, assign responsibilities, and establish permit timelines so you know when work begins and inspections take place. We process submittals, drawings, and calculations, then coordinate HOA approval, aligning design details with community standards to eliminate delays.
You'll receive clear Code updates related to glass placement and opening dimensions. Ahead of installation, we perform verification checklists: tempered markings, fall‑prevention, safety rails, and emergency egress. During work, we ensure jobsite compliance and schedule inspections. Following approval, we file permits for your records and future resale.
Picking the Right Glass, Hardware, and Warranties
Before ordering a single pane, we match glass types and hardware to your property's exposures, safety zones, and performance goals. We designate tempered or laminated safety glazing where code mandates, then calibrate U‑factor, SHGC, and visible light. For coastal glare and crisp views, Low‑iron glass delivers true color; for privacy, we offer acid‑etched or switchable alternatives. In wet zones, we specify corrosion‑resistant hinges, rollers, and fasteners, then coordinate Hardware finishes with your fixtures for durability and cohesion.
We log spacer type, gas fill, and sealant system to guarantee warranty integrity. You'll know what's covered: glass breakage, seal failure, stress cracks, and finish durability. We register warranties, offer care protocols, and schedule follow‑ups, preserving your investment and safety over the long term.
